This is my 2-month recap of my blogging activities, well my mp3 postings to be precise. I am going to post my favourite track from each blog post so far. Nearly 3000 hits later and here I am, hopefully soon after this the blog will be listed on hype machine too! (That's my main aim, I crave abit more recognition and Hypem would hopefully grant it)
I've enjoyed my time in the blogosphere so far and hopefully it will continue for a good old long time. I like to post up these tracks and this recap reminded me how many great ones I've posted so far!
I re-upped the tunes I chose from my earlier posts, as they were either yousendit or fileden (my account was suspended), so now all are on savefile, except for the latest posts using EZArchive AND additionaly being a bit clever I opened another fileden account with an alternate email ;) so the last track is upload to that new account.

And in light of the god darn brilliant Jay Z set at Glastonbury, I thought it fitting to post one of the songs up here, I mean it WAS awesomeness. I wish I could have witnessed it in person, not through a screen. Also to prove his amazing star power, I had never heard ANY of his songs other than Encore before and of course some of the ones he sampled like 'Back in Black' and 'Rehab', I loved every second of it, I think I need to get a couple of Jay Z albums.
37. Jay Z - 99 Problems/Back in Black (Live at Glastonbury 2008)
Enjoy!

Ok, well since my fileden account was suspended, I've been using savefile, but my only annoynance with that otherwise great hosting site is the links aren't direct so I am going to try out EZArchive and see if it's a better service. Well that's a side note, I am genuinely loving these tracks below
Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal It's different to say the least, haven't heard much about this band other than the track. However, I'm quite ashamed that I heard it off Jo Whiley, the prime example of jumping on the bandwagon,the only thing good about her dj show is the occasional live lounge gem, but she hardly has input into that now does she?
This is a good cover performed on her show a while ago;
Hot Chip - Wearing my Rolex (Wiley cover)
Surprisingly, the relatively new track by Ladyhawke, Paris is Burning, was broadcast on pop music channel Bubble Hits, now I get to see all of the crappy music channels when my sister does her usual channel hopping and was really shocked to see this song on a pop channel, and abit peeved when they claimed they play 'new music first' even though its been on both MTV2 and NME TV for a few weeks, its a great track and I can see why it was played as it has a real electro pop edge to it. Ladyhawke may go far!
I'm not fond of remixes buuuuuuuuuuut there are a couple out there I like, today I thought i'd give this almost golden oldie out, I like it alot, off of a free NME cd i got, with Klaxons on the cover for the first time I believe. TUNE!
Gossip - Standing in the Way of Control (Soulwax Nite Remix)
Ok well, the blog I feel is going up in the world, I think each post attracts more people and hopefully it actually does. My aim is to get over 50 subscribers. I've increasingly become both fascinated and obsessed with the hits and readers after recently putting my feed through feedburner. The facts it gives are very intriguing
I'll try to hold back from becoming too obsessed. Anyway I have a BARE HENCH (really big) post coming up soon, I think most people will like it.
Well I think i'll just post some rather random things here today, a video and a couple of tracks:
Klaxons - Magick
Radiohead - Lucky
Also, totally unrelated, Metal Gear Solid 4 is amazing! Just to let you know. Buy it.
Over 550 hits! Yeehah!
Ok, thats actually not that much to be perfectly honest but, I am proud of that as an achievement! When I first started writing this I didn't know what to expect, of course I feel that the main lure is the music and not my posts, I'd like to thank every visitor and doubly thank every visitor who's go on to read my posts
Also I think roughly 10% of the hits may be my own viewings but oh well
This celebratory post will include a couple of random songs, random as they are, they make me happy!
1990s - See you at the Lights Director Edgar Wright said about this song that "once its halfway through I like to start it again" its definitely an opinion I agree with!
Jack Penate - Got my Favourite
Onto my second month of blogging!
Well so far I've enjoyed writing here and there about music. I'm not going to pack this in, I want to continue and get lots more hits! After 2 months old, Hype Machine add blogs, for what reason this age I know not but I am already on Elbo.ws - click here.
Anyways I think that people will enjoy this blog once its popularity builds and builds, now for a fitting song;
Klaxons - Not Over Yet
Ok, started rather oddly with the Boris post but hey, Im hoping for the mp3s to be picked up by Hype Machine or Elbo.ws or somewhere! Well, its more about the music than anything else, I enjoyed reading this blog post below which inspired me to start one of my own

The name of this blog is obviously a Clockwork Orange reference for those who have read/seen it, I definitely recommend both versions, myself preferring the books ending.
